The Clara shirt is a timeless and versatile design that you can fully customize to your liking. You can choose between a Cuban collar or a collarless version, depending on the look you want to create. Go for sleeveless or short sleeves, and optionally add a wide sleeve cuff for extra length and a playful touch.

The different pocket options—from large flap pockets to a small rounded chest pocket, with or without a subtle ruffle—give you complete freedom to define your own style. With color blocking options, such as contrasting hems, sleeve cuffs, and pocket trims, you can create endless variations.

Clara is also flexible in length: you can choose from four hem lengths, including a rounded hem that works perfectly for a dress version. The straight, slightly relaxed fit offers comfort and creates a clean, modern silhouette that suits a variety of body types. Clara feels comfortable without losing its shape and has a contemporary, wearable look.

This design is also available in kid's sizes under the name 'COLOMBIA shirt & dress', and there's a similar men’s shirt design called CUBA shirt’

 

Fabric choice

Clara offers a wide range of fabric possibilities. Choose lightweight, fluid fabrics such as viscose, tencel, or fine cotton for a soft, flowing look. Prefer more structure? Opt for slightly heavier fabrics like cotton, chambray, or linen for a more boxy appearance. Heavier or more wintery fabrics also work beautifully for Clara, making it a pattern you can use throughout the seasons. The final result will vary depending on your fabric choice.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND WASHING YOUR FABRIC BEFORE CUTTING.


Level

Clara is designed with ease of sewing in mind. The techniques are kept as simple and efficient as possible, making this a quick and satisfying project. If you have never sewn a shirt before, this is an ideal pattern to start with. The simplest version— without a collar, pockets, or cuffs—is perfect for learning the basics. From there, you can gradually add more details at your own pace.

 

Fit

Clara has a straight, relaxed fit with a slightly oversized feel and no bust dart. The wide sleeves enhance the boxy silhouette, which also results in deeper armholes (something to consider for the sleeveless version). The dress version features generous side slits for ease of movement. Thanks to the different lengths, necklines and pocket options, you can easily adapt the look to your style.

 

Notions

Fabric requirements 

The fabric lengths charts show how much fabric you will need for all variations, calculated on a standard fabric width of 140 cm - 1.55 yd. If your fabric is narrower, you will need more fabric length. For broader or narrower fabrics you can calculate how much fabric you will need by laying out the pattern pieces on the table according to your fabric width and measuring how much fabric length you will need accordingly.

Spa-like Stimulation of Your Senses
Scent: Dragon Fruit, Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Luxurious. Delightful. Aromatic. This scrub is the real deal. Thick and full, this scrub makes bathing an enhanced experience. The smell is heavenly. The scrub leaves you feeling smooth and light. I want to use it everyday though I try to restrict myself, as advised, to 2-3 times weekly. I am happy. Floating. Enjoying this bliss. Recommended.

Smells Amazing and Leaves Skin Super Soft
Scent: Golden Sands, Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This scrub smells really good—not too overpowering, just a nice warm scent. The texture is perfect for exfoliating without being too harsh, and it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated after rinsing. Good quality and definitely worth the price.

Great sugar scrub would recommend any scent
Scent: Palm Grove, Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1), Scent: Palm Grove, Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Tree hut is a trusted brand so I decided to try their palm grove sugar scrub. It has a wonderful fresh scent and moisturizes very well. My wife uses their products and I wanted one with a less flowery scent and the palm grove is great Great price for a great product!!!

Finally relieved some skin issues on/under my breasts
Scent: Lychee Kiss, Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This might be TMI but I wanted to post it because I’m sure there are other women out there wondering about the same thing and if this product will help: My skin is super sensitive so I’ve always feared using a body scrub. I have large breasts and get boob sweat pretty often. I’ve been having tons of skin-colored bumps on the tops and especially underneath them. I’ve tried several loofahs and exfoliating brushes that haven’t helped much. I finally decided to try my first body scrub and I am SO HAPPY I DID. So far I don’t have any breakouts although I just used this for the first time but I will update if need be (if you don’t hear from me, that means all went well and no breakouts lol). My skin feels super soft and there isn’t much texture left at all. I’m sure with a few more applications everything will be smooth as butter! I got the lychee scented one. The smell is nice. It doesn’t smell high end by any means but it’s a good, sweet scent. Overall I’m really happy and excited to keep using it !
